Hi, finally decided to upgrade my system (specs in sig.)
Will be used for Gaming (BF3, etc.), General web and office use, bit of music production.

As I won't be looking at upgrade in next couple years I would like best options for certain price range.

Currently looking at CPU+CPU Cooler+Mobo+Ram+SSD

Update, Purchased Items:
1) motherboard: ASRock Z77 Fatal1ty Professional
2) Cpu: i5 3570K

Not sure about below, so your advices will be appriciated:
CPU Cooler for Overclocking 4ghz-4.5ghz (price range £30-£50)
RAM: 6-8GB (price range £30-£50)
SSD 120GB-160GB (price range max £70)

Thank You.

Thank you, will consider motherboard.

However with current system I am using Cooler master Z600 (really big cooler)
And I am looking to OC new 3570K to 4ghz at least and I know they do get really hot.
 
Hi Guys, bit of update, purchased i5 + Asrock Fatality Professional motherboard.

Ram and Cooler left, (SSD optional) ... if I buy before friday all components, hpefully going to build during weekends.

more options on Ram and Cpu cooler? thanks
 
^ I know mate, I got one, but I think to get rid of it (haven't decided yet). Just £10 off original price +extra mhz bought me on that patriot Ram...
 
thanks, I might go with Corsair Ram as everybody advice it.

I wonder if my PCP&C 610W Silencer be good with new ivy+gtx480, thanks
